         1 . A precise strike tool comprising: 
 a slide,    a sleeve,    a variety of heads,    an extension, and    a chain accessory.    
     
     
         2 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 1  having a slide comprising a shaft and handle assembly.  
     
     
         3 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 1  having a sleeve comprising a body, a flange, a chain anchor, and an anvil.  
     
     
         4 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 1  having a variety of heads, including but not limited to: a large head, a small head, and a chisel.  
     
     
         5 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 1  having an extension comprising an extension body and an extension anvil.  
     
     
         6 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 1  having a chain accessory comprising a large end and a small end connected by and welded to a plurality of links.  
     
     
         7 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 2  wherein said shaft is made of smooth solid material and is of sufficient length to impart a striking force.  
     
     
         8 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 2  wherein said handle is permanently or removably attached to said shaft.  
     
     
         9 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 3  wherein said body has a smooth interior diameter slightly larger than said shaft, allowing the shaft to freely move longitudinally within the sleeve.  
     
     
         10 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 3  wherein said flange affords the user a secure handhold and reduces the possiblity of injury when said slide is forcibly moved down said sleeve.  
     
     
         11 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 3  wherein said chain anchor has a straight portion which is permanently attached to said body, and an angled portion.  
     
     
         12 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 11  wherein said chain anchor provides means to attach a chain accessory.  
     
     
         13 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 11  wherein the angled portion of said chain anchor is forked to capture the chain accessory.  
     
     
         14 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 3  wherein said anvil is permanently attached to one end of said body.  
     
     
         15 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 14  wherein said anvil has a smooth outer diameter to accept one of a variety of heads.  
     
     
         16 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 4  wherein said heads comprise a variety of sizes and shapes.  
     
     
         17 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 5  wherein said extension body is a shorter version of said shaft body.  
     
     
         18 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 17  wherein said extension body has an inner diameter which allows it to fit over said anvil.  
     
     
         19 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 5  wherein said anvil has a smooth outer diameter to accept one of a variety of heads, said head is retained by means of a “C” ring fitted inside a groove in said anvil.  
     
     
         20 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 6  wherein said large end is bent at an acute angle to facilitate gripping a workpiece.  
     
     
         21 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 6  wherein said small end includes a hole to facilitate gripping a workpiece.  
     
     
         22 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 6  wherein said chain is comprised of by a plurality of links made of material of sufficient strenght to withstand a twisting force by the user.  
     
     
         23 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 7  wherein said a shaft and handle assembly are made from a material selected from the group consisting of steel, aluminum alloy, composite material or other strong, durable material.  
     
     
         24 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 8  wherein said handle is attached to said shaft by means of welding, interference fit or mechanical fasteners.  
     
     
         25 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 15  wherein said head is retained by means of a “C” ring fitted inside a groove in said anvil.  
     
     
         26 . A precise strike tool according to  claim 19  wherein said head is retained by means of a “C” ring fitted inside a groove in said anvil.
